A Tide Turning

 

A TIDE TURNING

WILDFLOWERS ALL AROUND ME

 

MY EYES ON THE SKY

 

WATCHING CLOUDS OF LACE

 

CHASE THE SUN RAYS 

 

TOO FAR TO LOOK AHEAD

 

TIME TO KILL INSTEAD

 

THAT I SURELY DID

 

 

SO MANY EMOTIONS   

 

A TIDE TURNING

 

CHANGING ME

 

A CALM SERENITY 

 

A FALSE SECURITY

 

THE SMILE THAT CAME

 

SO NATURALLY 

 

TAKEN AWAY SO SUDDENLY 

 

BUT I SEE ANOTHER SIDE

 

TO ALL THIS

 

IF ONLY I COULD WISH

 

IT ALL AWAY

 

GET A LITTLE CLARITY

 

YOU SELDOM GET BACK

 

WHAT YOU LOSE

 

DON'T ALWAYS GET TO CHOOSE

 

 

FEEL THE SUMMER SLIPPING AWAY

 

GLIMPSES OF A SKY TURNING GRAY

 

THE LEAVES HEADED FOR THE GROUND

 

THE HUSH BEGINS TO GROW

 

THE CROWDS THIN OUT AND GO

 

SCATTER LIKE THE LEAVES

 

A TIDE TURNING

 

CHANGING ME

 

SEND ME OUT INTO THE WORLD

 

SEARCHING FOR A DREAM

 

I'LL RECOGNIZE IT AS MY OWN

 

ONE I HAVE SEEN

 

 

WILDFLOWERS ALL AROUND ME

 

NOW SO FAR BACK IN TIME

 

A GHOST FROM THE PAST

 

DESTINED TO LAST

 

WOUND UP TO CAST

 

RIGHT THROUGH A TIDE TURNING

 

THE LAST OF THE SUN GOING DOWN

 

LIKE AN EMBER BURNING

 

SEE IT GLOW

 

BEFORE IT SINKS TOO LOW
